But it is said that in the north of the Central Plains, there is a vast basin between the mountains and ridges, with deep mountains and swamps, lush forests, and many venomous snakes and beasts. [ ] Every morning or evening, this basin is always covered in fog.
The miasma is permeating the air. Although the mountains and fields are filled with blooming flowers and are as bright as clouds, there are hidden murderous intentions everywhere and are extremely dangerous. But this valley has a beautiful and ethereal name - Konggu, and the descendant of Chi You whose vicious reputation spread far and wide -
The Jiuli people are hidden deep in this vast dense forest.
At noon that day, the Jiuli people who were on guard at the mountain pass saw a cloud of smoke and dust suddenly rising from the vast wilderness outside the mountain. The wormwood as tall as a person separated like waves, and a huge elephant gradually appeared.
A giant with a bull's head and human body on his back was galloping towards him with empty hands and a frustrated look on his face. It was the current leader of the Jiuli clan, the Shenmu King, who had returned.
Several sentries quickly sent out signals to convey the news of the clan leader's return to the clansmen in the mountains, and then quickly gathered together, led by the clan's great wizard Li Mei, and galloped out of the jungle to greet the Shenmu King.
At this time, the Shenmu King had arrived at the mountain pass, jumped off the elephant's back, and came forward to greet Li Mei. Li Mei, the great wizard, was slightly shorter and thinner than the Shenmu King, with sparse yellow hair on his face.
Covered with wrinkles and criss-crossing ravines, he held a strange-looking black scepter in his hand. The top of the scepter was a red skull, with two emerald green gems inlaid in the two eye holes. Under the sunlight, it looked exactly like its owner.
Both eyes were shining with a strange green light. When Li Mei saw the Shenmu King's unhappy expression, she already knew that his trip would be unlucky, so she didn't ask much, just exchanged a few words with him, and walked arm in arm with him.
, and went into the jungle.
This is an endless primitive jungle, with tall firs, pines and cypresses intertwined, reaching up to the clouds. Below are vigorously growing shrubs, with many unknown vines entangled in them.
There is almost no daylight. The surroundings are vast and vast, and from time to time there are roars of wild beasts or birds, which embellish this magnificent mountain forest with beauty and danger.
Traveling more than a hundred miles from the edge of the forest, a wide open space will appear. Here is the settlement of the Jiuli Demon Clan, the descendants of Chi You. The edge of the open space is formed by a circle of thick logs rammed into the ground side by side.
Due to the warm climate in the forest, many of the logs in the tall village wall have sprouted new shoots, taken root, and grown into towering trees. In addition, there are many vines and moss attached to them, making this road
The village wall forms a natural barrier full of greenery and life. To the south of the village, there is a large village gate. Entering from here, you will see wooden houses in front of you. The wooden houses here are related to the Shuyao Kingdom or the
The huts that residents of the Jingle Kingdom and other inland areas live in are different. Since the Jiuli people are all tall, the wooden houses they build are naturally very tall and spacious. Because for more than a thousand years, the Jiuli people have not had the huts that were added to them by the Yellow Emperor.
Due to the suppression on the heads of the demons, they were able to develop and multiply rapidly. In addition, they were in an environment rich in resources. They did not have to be like other ethnic groups outside. They were busy all day long, sowing in spring and harvesting in autumn. They had a lot of spare time to develop mineral deposits, and even
They went out to plunder the mountains and thus accumulated quite abundant material resources. The Jiuli people are naturally brave, aggressive and cruel by nature, and each of them has an extremely stubborn national arrogance complex. Deep in their hearts, all other people in the world
All ethnic groups are inferior and imbecile. They are not worthy of living in the fertile and fertile land of the Central Plains and sharing this beautiful sky with them. The contempt rooted deep in their souls makes them full of contempt for the residents outside the mountains.
They have deep-rooted hatred, and once they get the chance, they will kill without mercy.
In the middle of this group of wooden houses, two particularly tall and majestic wooden houses stand out side by side. This is the residence of the patriarch Shenmu Wang and the great wizard Li Mei. It can also be said to be the royal palace and meeting place of the Jiuli Tribal Alliance.
The Shenmu King held his head high and entered the meeting hall accompanied by Li Mei. The Shenmu King first sat down on a huge wooden pier covered with animal skins in the middle, and then waved, followed by the great wizard Li Mei and various small ones.
The tribal leader also sat cross-legged on the animal skins spread on the ground below, respectfully listening to the instructions of the Shenmu King.
King Shenmu glanced around everyone's faces with a heavy expression, and finally his eyes stopped on Li Mei's face. He suddenly laughed and said: "Great wizard, what happened to you today? According to the rules of our clan, although I
You are the leader of the clan, but as the only great wizard in the clan who can communicate with the spirits of ancient ancestors, your status is equal to mine. The seat below me is prepared for you. Why are you sitting with them today?
Went down there?"
Li Mei stood up, with a downcast face full of shame, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, although you didn't say anything when you came back this time, Li Mei has already seen from your look that this trip must be
The success was almost a failure. But this action was the result of my divination to the God Lord and my efforts to promote it. Now the king not only returned empty-handed, but also lost his usual magic gun. From this, it seems that your trip this time
Shuyao must be in an extremely dangerous situation, with a narrow escape from death. As the chief wizard king of our clan, Li Mei's divination is not good, causing the king to get involved in dangerous places with his supreme respect. It is really a sin! Therefore, Li Mei feels ashamed and can't help it.
Dare to stand side by side with the king!"
The Shenmu King laughed loudly, and the hall was shaken: "The Great Wizard is wrong! After King Mu lost his hand that day, he hurriedly escaped from the Shuyao tribe. On the way, he also felt resentful towards the Great Wizard. But after walking for a long time, King Mu felt in his heart
But he had other ideas, so he rushed back overnight to discuss with the great wizard."
Li Mei put her right hand on her chest, bowed and said, "Whatever your Majesty has in mind, just say it. Our Jiuli clan is united, and no one will dare to disobey!"
King Shenmu stood up and came forward, pulled Li Mei to sit down under him, first told everyone the story of his action, and then said: "Everyone, King Mu has thought about this action on the way.
The reason for the failure cannot be said to be that the great wizard's divination was not good, but because we underestimated the enemy and never believed that after Emperor Xuanyuan ascended to heaven, he would use the Dragon Horse Divine Sword, two mythical beasts that can kill gods and Buddhas.
The magic weapon remains in the world. He acted rashly, which led to what happened today. If King Mu had listened to the advice of the great wizard that day, gathered his troops and attacked with all his strength, and killed the opponent by surprise, he might have succeeded at this time and returned to Su Dai's Qi Yin Jue.
The spiritual medium with the pulse was brought back. So King Mu thought that since our purpose has been exposed after this operation, the Shuyao Kingdom will definitely take advantage of the remaining power of its ancestors and find a way to form an alliance with other princes and tribes to resist together.
We. Since we have lost the opportunity and cannot win by surprise, we might as well gather our troops and horses while their alliance is still in its infancy and attack immediately to capture the psychic woman with Qi Yin Juemian first, so as to avoid future attacks.
After the opponent was developed, he missed a good opportunity. Great Wizard, what do you think?"
There are a total of eight tribes under the jurisdiction of the Shenmu King. In addition to a leader, each tribe also has a wizard. These eight tribal leaders are all direct relatives of the Shenmu King, and the eight little wizards
Without exception, they are the direct disciples of Li Mei. These sixteen people are only lower than the Shenmu King and Li Mei in the Jiuli tribe, and their status is also extremely respected. They are the Tiancan King, the Heavenly Killer King, the Earthly Pluto King, and the Earthly You King.
, the King of Destroyers, the King of Liren, the King of Flooding Ghosts, the King of Spiritual Ghosts; the golden charm, the water charm, the fire charm, the earth charm, the clear charm, the turbid charm, the blood charm, and the soul charm. Without exception, these sixteen people are all related to the sacred tree.
Wang and Li Mei are the same, one is born with bravery, the other is born as a god. It can be said that both have great magical powers, but they are also loyal to their clan leaders and great wizards, and regard them as gods. At this time, when they heard the question from the Shenmu King, they all joined together.
He stood up and agreed with a bang. Only Li Mei was still a little hesitant and sat there in silence.
King Shenmu knew Li Mei's concerns, so he said to him with a smile: "Great Wizard, King Mu knows that you are in charge of the priesthood, and you must consider the wishes of the Lord God before anything happens. This is not a bad thing. Anyway, we don't care about the time of day or the weather.
It’s not early, that’s all for today, you all go back to rest first, and early tomorrow morning, the great wizard will open an altar to offer sacrifices and ask for the Lord’s wishes. It will not be too late to make a decision then!”
After speaking, he waved his hand and signaled the sixteen subordinates to leave.
After everyone disappeared, the great wizard Li Mei stood up and walked to the Shenmu King, looked directly into his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, your decision today is a bit hasty? You know that our altar has just just
After the completion of the construction, the blood of the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Yin people has not yet been collected, and even the lowest demon god under the main god cannot be summoned. If such a large-scale attack is carried out to attack the Xuanyuan tribe that hides the Dragon Horse Divine Sword,
Isn't it too risky? When the Xuanyuan Divine Sword and the Xuantian Water God Dragon and Horse come out, who can stop their sharpness? It is not easy for our Jiuli clan to reproduce and live to this point. If it is once provoked by this,
The public is angry, being attacked by those inferior ethnic groups, and coupled with the power of the divine sword and dragon horse, I am afraid... I am afraid..."
The Shenmu King raised his long red eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "What are you afraid of? The great wizard said it doesn't matter!"
Li Mei took a long breath and continued: "I'm afraid that once defeated, our Jiuli clan's strength will be greatly reduced, and even this hiding place will be difficult to preserve! Not to mention that if this place is lost, we have been preparing for many years
Our plan to summon the Lord God will never be realized! Once the Lord God blames us, how can we ever make a comeback?"
The Shenmu King looked at the gloomy Great Wizard and was silent for a long time. Then he suddenly laughed loudly: "Great Wizard, you and I have worked together for many years. Don't you still understand the character of the Wood King? Although I have a strong personality and like to win, but
I am by no means a reckless person. I naturally have my reasons for making such a decision."
Li Mei held the magic staff in her hand, bowed and said: "Please give me a clear explanation from your Majesty!"
The Shenmu King smiled and said: "This time the Wood King went to Shuyao. Although he failed, he figured out one thing on the way back. Great Wizard, let me ask you: If someone can use the Xuanyuan Divine Sword to strike with all his strength,
With the power of King Mu at this time, can he escape completely?"
Li Mei said without hesitation: "Absolutely not!"
The Shenmu King smiled and said: "That's it! That day, the Mu King faced Xuanyuan Sheng in Shuyao Kingdom. His Xuanyuan Divine Sword and Xuantian Dragon Horse had appeared, but I was able to escape easily even when the sneak attack failed.
, even though I didn’t obtain the blood of the psychic medium, I still discovered a huge secret.”
Li Mei suddenly woke up, raised her head and said, "The king is saying... that Xuanyuan Divine Sword and Xuantian Dragon Horse... cannot exert their power?!"
The look on the Shenmu King's face was extremely proud: "That's right! Great wizard, tell me, is this an excellent opportunity?"
Li Mei thought about it for a moment, and her face immediately became happy. She stretched out her palm and struck the Shenmu King, and said resolutely: "Okay! Then tomorrow, I will ask the Lord God for instructions on how to do it. As long as the Lord God is willing, we will attack immediately!"
The two stood facing each other, looking up to the sky and smiling.【】
